**Former Anies Spokesperson Praises Sohibul Iman, Criticizes Jakarta Pilkada as Stepping Stone to 2029 Presidential Election** Former Co-Captain of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) Winning Team, Sudirman Said, supports the PKS DPP’s decision to propose Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Sohibul Iman’s capacity and integrity are proven, so there is no doubt about his ability to lead Jakarta in the future. “Certainly, friends and cadres in the PKS Faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and provide good input, given their daily legislative, budgetary, and oversight duties in Jakarta Province,” said Sudirman, as quoted by Antara, on Monday, June 24, When you cherished this article and you would like to acquire details regarding Pilkada 2024 calon Pj kindly pay a visit to our own web page. 2024. According to the former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Sohibul Iman has a wide network among professionals and businesspeople. Therefore, he believes Sohibul will quickly receive the necessary input. Additionally, Sudirman Said believes that Sohibul is the right person to lead Jakarta because he will work with focus. So far, Sudirman has not seen any aspirations for Sohibul to advance to a higher political competition, such as the presidential election. Sudirman also reminds the public to choose gubernatorial candidates who genuinely want to manage Jakarta towards becoming a global city while addressing its complex problems. “I see Jakarta in an important transformation process. The next Jakarta governor must be 100 percent focused. Do not make Jakarta merely a political stage, especially a stepping stone to the 2029 presidential election,” said the former spokesperson for Anies Baswedan.

The voter data updating system for this simultaneous regional election is different from the previous election. In the previous election, voter data came from local governments and the Ministry of Home Affairs, while this year’s regional elections data only came from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Director General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) Irman stated that in updating voter data for the simultaneous regional elections starting at the end of 2015, a one-door system is used. This ensures that there are no duplicate voter data. “The guarantee is that we manage the population database with an online system. Therefore, duplicate data, God willing, will no longer exist,” said Irman after the handover of the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 3, 2015.

Usually, the Pilkada is held twice, specifically the local elections and the dispute route at the Constitutional Court (MK). “Usually, if the Pilkada is conducted twice, it means what? It means initially conducted locally, and then at the MK,” said Hadi while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “That’s why the TNI-Polri have to be vigilant about security during the actual Pilkada and during the MK sessions, ensuring the readiness of the TNI-Polri forces to secure the regions,” he continued. Hadi hopes the 2024 Pilkada stages will proceed without problems and securely without any obstacles in their implementation. Besides, post-Pilkada security must also be ensured. Hadi added that political and legal stability is crucial. According to him, the situation and condition of Polhukam stability will significantly affect the Pilkada stages. “We agree that all components of the nation and state must to maintain political, legal, and security stability for the 2024 Pilkada,” he concluded. Anticipating Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto gave a special instruction to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the safety of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada. Hadi urged that regions with potential conflicts must be anticipated before security disturbances arise. He said this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th, 2024. “Specifically TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also present, in the mapping of regions, have to determine regions with possible conflicts to mitigate security disturbances before they occur,” said Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN have to be alert, aware beforehand, so that they can anticipate any possible issues,” he continued. Furthermore, Hadi requested collaboration from local governments in supporting the 2024 Pilkada organization. If local governments fail to support, the concurrent Pilkada will inevitably be disrupted. “Therefore, total collaboration can ensure the successful conduct of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,” he said. Hadi urged local governments to take strategic steps, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno assesses that PKS’s decision to nominate its cadre is understandable, given that in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS could only nominate candidates from other parties. “Even the deputy gubernatorial position left by Sandiaga Uno, which should have been PKS’s share, was also willingly given to Gerindra,” said Adi. Therefore, Adi believes that in this Jakarta Pilkada, PKS does not want to continue being a supporter of other parties’ cadres. PKS wants to be a deciding party. Especially with the label as the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta. “As the winning party in the legislative elections, PKS certainly does not want to continue being a ronin. PKS does not want to be merely political firewood for proposing candidates, but to have a PKS cadre as governor or deputy governor,” said Adi. “This time, PKS wants to appear as a leader candidate. As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That’s the point,” stated Adi.
